Auburn offensive linemen criticize performance after five sacks against Baylor

Auburn offensive lineman Jo Simmons labeled his unit's performance against Baylor as unacceptable following a 17-16 win this past weekend. Despite the victory, the offensive line allowed quarterback Byrum Brown to be sacked five times during the season opener. Coach Alex Golesh and offensive coordinator Joel Gordon attributed the struggles to a lack of physicality and various communication errors against a revised Baylor defensive front. Simmons, a transfer addition, noted that the unit committed four penalties throughout the contest. He expressed confidence that the offensive line will improve its chemistry and technical execution as the season progresses.
